Miners’ Memorial Park Fundraising Initiatives

Starting in 2008: With the help of EPCAMR, the HBPS was awarded over $12,000 in grant money from M&T Bank, Living Well Luzerne County Coalition, Future Farmers of America and ARIPPA.

In July of 2016 the HBPS was awarded a $100,000 Act 13 grant from the Commonwealth! Act 13 of 2012 establishes the Marcellus Legacy Fund and allocates funds to the Commonwealth Financing Authority for planning, acquisition, development, rehabilitation and repair of greenways, recreational trails, open space, parks and beautification projects using the Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program (GTRP).

In addition, donations (of money and time) from the community and individuals have been pouring in to help in the construction of the memorial park. But the park is not finished yet…

Currently, the HBPS has a few ways in which you can easily support our efforts:

Buy-A-Brick

A beautiful way to preserve personal and family history while helping to build the walking trails for the park! Single bricks are available for a $2 donation. Share your memories with two lines of engraved text for $50, three lines for $75, or imprint your company or organization logo for $100 per brick. The bricks are ECO-TEK pavers made from abandoned mine drainage produced by R.I. Lampus Company in Springdale, PA. The iron oxide content of the reclaimed mine drainage provides the perfect “brick red” coloring for each of the custom pavers.

The text to be engraved must be less than 12 characters per line, 24 total characters for two lines, and 36 total characters for three lines. Text for names and inscriptions can be emailed to info@huberbreaker.org. If a logo engraving is preferred, please send a high quality resolution .jpg/.jpeg image to the same email address.
